As you know I used to be a peace keeper in the Lebanon so of course I learnt Arabic. <BR/><BR/>That's a long winded way of saying "I'm sorry I can't resist"<BR/><BR/> - I got this in my email ages ago. it's the text of a hand written letter from Osama "I murdered thousands of people and all I got was away with it" Bin Laden to George W "Me an' poodle-boy have murdered thousands of people and we've gotten away with it so far" Bush.<BR/><BR/>370HSSV-0773H<BR/><BR/>To decipher the letter you need to know two things:<BR/><BR/>1) Bush was holding the letter upside down.<BR/><BR/>2) Arabic reads from right-to-left.<BR/><BR/><BR/><B>Enjoy!*</B><BR/><BR/><BR/>*Disclaimer - If you have tea coffee or any other liquid in your mouth after solving the puzzle and you ruin your keyboard it's your fault not mine! :-)<BR/><BR/>PS: I've been asked to return to my regiment for a while and have agreed to do so and NO I'm NOT taking part in Dubya and Tony's illegal and racist war. I joined to serve as a peacekeeper with honour and to leave the world in a better state than I found it.<BR/><BR/>PPS: Apropros of what yousaid about the image Muslims haveof Christians and that wonderful link towho Bush listens to in reality. Remind me when I get back to tell you why I chose "Mark from Ireland" as my blogger display name. It's a contraction of "Mark from Ireland - the follower of the prophet Jesus" <BR/><BR/>It's too long a story to type out tonight but not all Muslims think all Christians are evil.<BR/><BR/>As they'd say:<BR/><BR/>Allahu Akhbar - God is greatest, we Christians would do well to remember that. So would those who call themselves "CHRISTIANS"<BR/><BR/>Oops now I'm sounding like an infuriated bogtrotter :-) Oh well I am an infuriated bogtrotter better log off to cool down for a while.'<BR/><BR/>You keep well.markfromirelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986196139220642840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188674.post-1129934568039849082005-10-21T18:42:00.000-04:002005-10-21T18:42:00.000-04:00... would be nice.Would be nice?

Waking up each day to find myself still living under this ignorant, insane regime is like getting up to be beaten up by 1,000 linebackers.Katharine O'Moore-Klopfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699159708036532202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188674.post-1129911438788469172005-10-21T12:17:00.000-04:002005-10-21T12:17:00.000-04:00What did our illustrious president learn at Yale w...<I>What did our illustrious president learn at Yale when he was earning his degree in history?</I><BR/><BR/>Earning? Don't you mean "sitting through the occasional history class waiting to be handed a diploma"? He's just further proof that with enough time, money, and influence, anyone can get any degree. As if Dan Quayle wasn't proof enough. <BR/><BR/>And as for the Senate... nothing they do could surprise me anymore, unless it was actually GOOD for the country, or the U.S. citizenry, or the environment. <BR/><BR/>Grr.
